How to Wear:

Don’t go overboard with your color combination. Choose color blocks that go well together. An example would be choosing a color palette in the same hue. Pink and reds, orange and yellow and so on.

If you want to wear this trend go for the bold colors. Don’t choose the pale version of your color choice since it would look like a half hearted color block.

Colored jeans can be your first step in wearing a color block outfit.

Go for luxury fabrics like satin, taffeta and silk so it wouldn’t look cheap.

If you’re to scared to try out the trend choose one color that is bold and bright.
